A Journal to impart knowledge and facts
July 22, 2015

I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.

I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.

I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.

by Gaelic Storm's album called Herding Cats


Lyrics: Candlelight dies at the window
And the night wind blows soft from the sea
Though I lie in your arms, I'm a thousand miles away
On the waves sailing fast, sailing free
Now I'm bound for the heart of the ocean
I'm riding the sea in my soul
In the dark and the deep she will rock me to sleep
Down below, where the black waters roll
When the sea birds cry out in the morning
And the sun lays it's kiss on the sand
I'll be drawn to the shore like so many times before
As I long to be far from the land
Now I'm bound for the heart of the ocean
I'm riding the sea in my soul
In the dark and the deep she will rock me to sleep
Down below, where the black waters roll
I can still hear your voice on the trade winds
I can still taste your tears on the foam
But the lure of the tide that I'm feeling inside
Will not rest 'til my heart finds it's home
Now my heart is the heart of the ocean
There are storms from the sea in my soul
I'm restless and deep and before I can sleep
I must go where the black waters roll
Where the black waters roll
Where the black waters roll
Where the black waters roll

There is a book by Warren G. Bennis // Title: "Managing People is Like Herding Cats"

Cats use certain ways of manipulating people to get what they want. So, managing people in extreme situations is the reason for the expression.

Origin of this expression is attributed to Monty Python : https://englishexplorations.check.uni-hamburg.de/idiom-of-the-week-herding-cats/...
